More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
Every gesture is a revolutionary act.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is absurd.
Fernando Pessoa
All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.It's all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. It'sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices - a collectivemishmash of life.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
Fernando Pessoa
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.
Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
Inch by inch I conquered the inner terrain I was born with. Bit by bit I reclaimed the swamp in which I'd languished. I gave birth to my infinite being, but I had to wrench myself out of me with forceps.
Fernando Pessoa
I search and can't find myself. I belong in chrysanthemum time, sharp in calla lily elongations. God made my soul into an ornamental thing.
Fernando Pessoa
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
Fernando Pessoa
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it.
Fernando Pessoa
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
Fernando Pessoa
Our problem isn't that we're individualists. It's that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven't done, or been, what we thought that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
Time, which grays hair and wrinkles faces, also withers violent affections, and much more quickly.
Fernando Pessoa
If we knew the truth, we'd see it all else is system and outskirts.
Fernando Pessoa
Faithful to the word given and the idea had.
Fernando Pessoa
